Book Synopsis Ice Age Floodscapes of the Pacific Northwest by : Bruce Norman Bjornstad
Download or read book Ice Age Floodscapes of the Pacific Northwest written by Bruce Norman Bjornstad and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This heavily illustrated book contains descriptions and geologic interpretations of photographs (mostly aerial) illustrating the power and magnitude of repeated Ice Age flooding in the Pacific Northwest, as recently as 14,000 years ago. The scale of Ice Age floods was so huge that today it is often difficult to see and appreciate the power and magnitude of such megafloods from ground level. However, from the air, landforms created by the floods often come into clear focus. Aerial images, obtained via unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) as well as fixed-wing airplane, add a new perspective on evidence gathered by dozens of scientists since 1923.

Book Synopsis Flood and Megaflood Processes and Deposits by : I. Peter Martini
Download or read book Flood and Megaflood Processes and Deposits written by I. Peter Martini and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this publication is the understanding of large floods and their impact on the Earth's surface. The major objectives are: 1) to take a second look at what constitutes a megaflood that the principle of uniformitarianism is at some loss to explain and 2) to try to determine what could happen in such large floods by analyzing those that occur in front of glaciers, in alluvial-fans and in alluvial valleys. The products of these floods are presented in terms of sedimentary deposits, erosional features and damage to human activities. The volume bears out the concept that sedimentological analysis can be a powerful tool, not only for reconstructing processes that have acted on ancient landscapes, but also as a technique for risk assessment of certain troubled areas. Therefore, this volume is of interest not only to sedimentologists/gemorphlogists, but also to engineers, landuse planners and anyone interested in the interrelation between humans and the environment.

Chapter 1 presents a short introduction to the geologic setting. Chapter 2 discusses the Great Ice Age and glacial Lake Missoula. Chapter 3 begins the field evidence descriptions for Lake Missoula in Montana leading a tour through western Montana to the northern Idaho state line. Chapter 4 presents field evidence for the flooding in Idaho to the southwestern state line with Washington. Chapter 5 described field evidence in southeastern Washington starting with the Spokane Valley and Columbia Plateau. Chapter 6 provides stratigraphic and geomorphic evidence for dozens of late glacial floods starting with the Grand Coulee and Dry Falls, Chelan area, Quincy Basin, Moses Coulee, and ending with the Cheney-Palouse Tract. Chapter 7 ends the tour with descriptions of the Columbia Valley and Columbia River Gorge ending with the Willamette Valley and the City of Portland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the turn-of-the-twentieth-century Northwest, the lives and passions of an American physician and her Swedish naturalist husband helped shape a territory on the cusp of change--from the author of Sources of the River and The Collector. Dr. Carrie Leiberg, a pioneer physician, fought hard for public health while nurturing both a troubled son and a fruit orchard. Her husband, John Leiberg, was a Swedish immigrant and self-taught naturalist who transformed himself from pickax Idaho prospector to special field agent for the US Forest Commission and warned Washington DC of ecological devastation of public lands. The Leiberg story opens a window into the human and natural landscape of a century past that reflects all the thorny issues of our present time.
